O wyzwaniach współczesnej gospodarki światowej – nowa książka prof. Ryszarda Piaseckiego

In the latest publication entitled "New Challenges Facing the Global Economy" the authors, prof. Ryszard Piasecki from the University of Lodz and prof. Miron Wolnicki from Villanova University Business School in the U.S., ask questions, among others, about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the future shape of the world economy. The book is intended for American and Polish students, experts in international economic relations. It was published by the Lodz University Press. Thanks to the Open Access formula, the book can be accessed by readers around the world.

Professor Ryszard Piasecki says:

The analysis focuses on globalization, the crisis of the neoliberal model of development, fighting poverty in the world, integration processes, the role of the European Union, the Middle and Far East, the spectacular development of China, the poverty of Africa and the stagnation in Latin America.

The book also refers to the core values, which are important to students and professionals who believe in in the superiority of democracy over authoritarianism and populism, freedom of expression over censorship, the right to choose the sovereign over the rule of enlightened dictators, rights of minorities over terror of the majority.

Both authors are researchers, educators and global travellers.

Prof. Ryszard Piasecki is Professor of Development Studies at both Polish and French schools of higher education (UL, CIFE Nice) and a former Ambassador of Poland to Chile (2008-2012) and Consul general in Brazil (1993-1998). 

Prof. Miron Wolnicki has received two Fulbright Awards, a German Marshall Fund award, and draws much from his experiences as a Polish emigre and a Professor at the Villanova University Business School in the U.S. 

Prof. Ryszard Piasecki summarizes:

During many joint academic travels, we discussed writing a book for business students and are very pleased to bring this project to fruition
